Done with Microsoft controllers. As a rule, I always get first party accessories, because as long as I've played games they've always been the sturdiest.

Think I only had to replace one 360 controller in the entire lifecycle of that console. I've had to replace the xbox one controller 3 times now. I'm not rough on them, I don't throw them around, but less than a year after buying them, the LB/RB button sticks. One time it just fell the fuck off.

Gonna take my chances with third party. Since they're cheap I won't feel bad if they break down. But the Microsoft ones too expensive for me to take any chances on them anymore.
